IntraBuild is a local Wellington County crew covering the university city of Guelph and the historic Grand River towns to the north, so the drywall installation Wellington County homeowners and builders book runs on local scheduling — established brick and stone homes and finished basements in Guelph, heritage renovations and new builds in Fergus and Elora, and family and estate homes across the rural north. We hang the board, tape the seams and sand every surface smooth, priced honestly by the square foot.
IntraBuild is a Wellington County drywall installation crew that works right across the county — Wellington County runs from the university city of Guelph, with its established brick and stone homes, University of Guelph student rentals, new south-end subdivisions and no shortage of finished basements, up to the historic stone towns of Fergus and Elora on the Grand River, and on through the rural and estate country around Erin and Rockwood to the family and country homes of Mount Forest, Palmerston and Arthur in the north. From a Guelph basement to a Fergus new-build main floor, that means a full crew, fast scheduling, one written price — and no separate travel fee — with the person who quotes your job on site doing the work. We handle the drywall installation Guelph, Fergus and Elora homeowners and builders rely on — finished basements, feature walls and ceilings, whole-home new builds, heritage renovations and additions. If you've searched "drywall installation near me" from anywhere in Guelph, Fergus, Elora or the north, you've found your crew. For the full picture of how we work, see our drywall installation services page — this page covers all of Wellington County.
Sheets set plumb and tight on walls and ceilings, joints staggered, cut cleanly around outlets, windows and light boxes.
Mesh or paper tape over every seam, with corner bead installation on each outside corner — metal or paper-faced bead so edges stay crisp and crack-free.
Fasteners set just below the surface in a staggered pattern — about 28–32 per sheet — then spotted so nothing shows through paint.
Three coats of compound minimum, feathered wide, then sanded and dust-controlled to Level 3, 4 or 5.
Established brick and stone homes, University of Guelph student rentals, new south-end subdivisions and — this being Guelph — plenty of finished basements. The basement drywall installation Guelph homeowners ask for most: framed lower levels boarded, taped and sanded, moisture-aware board near baths and laundry, and a smooth finish under pot lights — all handled by a local crew.
Two heritage stone towns on the Grand River, where century-home renovations sit beside steady new-build growth. Careful board and finish in older homes — matching settled wall lines and working around existing framing — plus whole-home drywall on new builds across Centre Wellington, taped and sanded to your finish level.
Rural and estate homes, custom builds and additions across Erin and Rockwood. Higher ceilings, great rooms and finished lower levels boarded cleanly, with the same per-square-foot pricing whether it's a country property or a brand-new custom build.
Family and country homes across the north of the county — Mount Forest, Palmerston and Arthur. Additions, detached-home board & finish and higher ceilings handled cleanly, taped and sanded to your level with dust kept out of the rest of the home.
The drywall installation cost across Wellington County comes down to area, so we quote by the square foot rather than a flat guess — board supplied and finished, with one written price and no separate travel fee. As a rough guide, the drywall installation Wellington County jobs we price run about $2.00–$5.50 per square foot turnkey. A Guelph basement finished to a Level 5 skim under pot lights runs nearer the top; a Fergus new-build main floor across straightforward walls sits lower in the range. Pick a finish level below; a fuller cost breakdown sits further down, and the full method behind these numbers lives on our drywall installation services page.

Each stage has to be right before the next begins — and the mud coats need drying time between them, which is why good drywall can't be rushed. Ceilings go first: a drywall ceiling installation is boarded before the walls, so the wall sheets tuck up under it and support its edges. On residential walls the sheets usually run horizontally, though hanging drywall vertically suits some taller commercial walls — either way the aim is fewer, cleaner joints to finish.
Yes — right across the county. That takes in Guelph, Fergus and Elora and the rest of Centre Wellington, Erin and Rockwood, and Mount Forest, Palmerston and Arthur in the north. None of these towns has its own city page yet, so they're all covered right here on this Wellington County page.
We do — finished lower levels are a big part of what we install here. The basement drywall installation Guelph homeowners book is a framed lower level boarded, taped and sanded to your finish level, with moisture-aware board near bathrooms and laundry and a smooth surface under pot lights. Priced by the square foot, with the full basement usually landing around $6,000–12,000+ turnkey.
Yes. Student rentals near the University of Guelph are steady work — repairs and re-boards after wear, converted or added bedrooms, and finished basements to add rooms. We schedule around tenancy turnover, keep the site clean and leave a sound, paint-ready surface, all priced by the square foot.
We do — the historic stone homes of Fergus and Elora are part of what we cover. Heritage renovations need a careful hand: matching settled wall lines, working around older framing and blending new board into existing plaster and drywall, then taping and sanding to your finish level. New builds across Centre Wellington get the same per-square-foot pricing.
Turnkey, figure about $2.00–2.75 per sq ft for Level 3, $2.75–4.00 for Level 4 and $4.00–5.50 for a Level 5 skim; a full basement usually lands around $6,000–12,000+.
